There’s a castle in Taiwan? Hmmm… A lot
of people will be skeptical upon hearing that such place exists on this Asian country. In Japan, there is
the Osaka castle and other similar structures. For Taiwan, it is something unusual and the lack of it makes
it more interesting to construct a European-style building on the island.

style="text-align: justify;">And there is one! Located in the rural Xinshe District of Taichung
is a structure inspired by the Medieval Period. It is called Xinshe Castle. No king was responsible in building
this complex and only its operator knew who coined the idea of bringing Europe in Formosa. Maintained and
owned by Summit Resort, the castle is one of the main attractions in Taichung that tourists usually go to
in addition to the mushroom farms nearby.

Perfect for dates. I took my girlfriend
here and she really loves the place. Actually, it was one of her travel goals before 2017 comes to an end.
I had been planning to visit Xinshe castle for a long very time and I don’t know why it doesn’t always happen.
Now, I know the reason. I must come here as Lord Luo-Mu Jie with my Lady Andrea.

A noble visit.
Dressed in warm clothes for autumn, my girlfriend and I boarded an express train to Fengyuan Station. We
then transferred to Bus 91 and get off the vehicle at Zhongxingling stop. A taxi suddenly passed by and we
got inside the cab in an instant. Lady Andrea talked to the driver in Chinese while I just listened innocently
to the conversation. Lord Luo-Mu Jie’s only job at that time was to pay the bill. Haha!
